Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. '~'-" , , " ' I The City Attorney presented a plat ot Salls Subdivision Uni~ 1 which re.plat~ed Salls 1st Addition, 2nd Addition and 3rd Addition into one plat. He reported that the plat was being revised to include the areas on either side ot Prescott Street. He indicated the area adjoining the plat which was occupied by a lake and asked the Commissioners it they would like to have a dedication ot the lake also. After some discussion, the City Attorney was instructed to try to secure the dedication ot the lake so it would be in the City limits too. Mr. D. A. Salls was not present. Commissioner Strang moved that Ordinance 671 (intention to annex Salls Subdivision Unit 1) be considered on its second reading by title only by unanimous consent.ot the Commission. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimoUSly. The City Attorney read Ordinance 671 by title only. ComBdssioner Strang moved that Ordinance 671 be passed on its second reading by title only. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimou sly. Due to the fact that the required thirty days had not elapsed since the passage at Ordinance 670, intention to annex Skycrest Unit 10 and part ot Oak Acres Unit 6, consideration ot Ordinance 672, annexation at Skycrest Unit 10 and part ot Oak Acres Unit 6, was deterred. The City Attorney read the Resolution ~ich would assess the cost ot the sanitary sewer in Blocks F, H, J and K, Boulevard Heights Subdivision, against the benefited properties. The Commission discussed several of the assessments where complaints had been made by the property owners that the proposed assessments were excessive and not in accord with the benefits received. The Mayor suggested that the Commdssion pass the Resolution at this time and take care ot the inequities as objections are made. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the Assessmen~ Resolution for sanitary sewer in Blocks F, H, J and K, ot Boulevard Heights Subdivision, be approved and passed as submitted. Motion was seconded by ComDdssioner Bohannon and carried unanimously. The City Engineer presented a sketch showing the proposed seawall line for Lot 2, Bayside Replat, owned by Mr. E. W. Barger, Jr. Atter some discussion, the Mayor addressed Mr. Barger saying that Commissioner Bates and Commissioner RUBsell were on the original Committee and had recommended a line that would be a continuation of the present seawall and com~ng back in a westerly and northerly direction. He reported that the entire Comndssion as a Commd~tee had inspected the site and reviewed the line but that since Commissioner Russell was not present the Committee did not wish to make a reeGmmen4a~10D. S, consent, the the matter was deferred to the next meeting. Item 7-D, Discussion ot method ot assessment for sanitary sewers on South end o~ Clearwater Beach, was deferred. Regarding the report of the Committee on the removal of R-l restrictions from certain lots on North Fort Harrison Avenue in Navajo Park Subdivision, Commissioner Bohannon stated that since Commdssioner Russell had been out of town they had not had an opportunity to formulate a final report and he would prefer to defer the matte~ until Commissioner Russell would be present. In regard to Agenda Item 7-AJ, "Committee report on the letter from Paul Randolph with re~erence to relocating property lines on Lots land 11, Block 264. Carlouel", the Mayor stated that the Committee had gone over to Clearwater Beach and looked a~ the lots. However, he said Mr. Randolph had requested permission to meet with the Committee before having the matter taken up a~ a regular meeting of the Commission. By consent, the matter was deferred. Regarding the proposed paving and storm sewer for Duncan Avenue trom Gulf-to-Bay to Druid Road, the City Manager reported that Mr. James Karas and Mr. Allen McKay, who own approximately 50% of the attected property or the part south of Turner Street, were in favor of the project but would like to know it the City would assume part of the cost of the storm sewer since it would serve a much larger area than the immediate adjoining property. The City Engineer estimated that it the City would assume the difference in cost between an 18" sewer (which would be used under normal conditions) and the recommended 30" sewer, then the City would pay about 7/12 of the cost of the sewer. Comndssioner Strang suggested that the Commission proceed with the Public Hearingp that allot the storm sewer be put in as a complete project, and that the pav2ng could be done on just the south halt of the project if the other owners objected to the paving project. Commissioner Strang moved that a Public Hearing be set up on Duncan Avenue drainage and paving trom Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard to Druid Road on February 7, 1955, and that bids be asked tor on both projects. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. , ~ ,.;, , . ,.' 1 1 , 1 i I ! ..,j , .' I , " ,,' . ", :-: " ' , i ,,' '. .....~,' , : , " .

The City Attorney read a letter from the South Shore Civic AS8ociation requesting that the Commission consider buying for park purposes a piece of property lying along the Bay between Turner and Roger Streets, approximately 300 feet by 190 feet. The letter stated that the owner, Mr. J. Arthur Hall, would sell it for $50,000.00. By consent1. the matter was referred to the Parks Committee for investigation and report.

A petition was read signed by twenty-nine property owners complaining of the dust caused by the operation of the Crooker Builders Supply Company on East Avenue between Court and Chestnut Streets and also of Ghe noise created when the company starts operating at six o'clock in the mornings.

Commissioner Bohannon inquired as to whose responsibility it was to repave the streets after they have been opened to lay sewers and utilities. The City Attorney stated that the contractors or the utility companies were now under bond to repave the streets properly. The City Manager reported that the Florida Power Corporation had repaved the whole intersection at Cleveland and Fort Harrison. Commissioner Bohannon suggested that the Manager write them a letter of appreciation. Commissioner Bohannon inquired if the streets in the Greenwood Apartment project area were the City's responsibility and was informed that they belonged to the Federal Government. The City Manager reported that the City was in the process of getting an agreement with the Federal Government that they will fix the streets and put them in A-l condition and then the City will accept dedication of the right-or-way. The City Attorney requested permission to leave the meeting and Assistant City Attorney B. J. Driver took his place. Assistant City Attorney B. J.

He said he did not question the advisability of removing them but since the original installation had been authorized by the Commission he thought their removal should also have been approved by the Commission. The City Manager stated that he had acted with the thought of not burdening the City Commission with so many details but that he would put a stop order on the changes and would set up an executive session for the purpose of discussing proposed traffic changes.

Middleton, City Manager City or Clearwater Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Middleton: This company has entered into a contract to purchase Lots 1, 2 and 45 of Drew Park Subdivision, according to map or plat thereof recorded in Pla~ Book 3. Page 40, Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida, for use as off-street parking for company vehicles and equipment and also for the storage of materials. It is our understanding that the above described property is presently zoned as Residential R-l and, therefore, cannot be utilized by this company for the purposes planned, unless and until the same be re-zoned to another classifi- cation. Accordingly, we respectfully request that this matter be brought to the attention of the City Commission to the end that a change of zoning be accomplished. As you probably know, this property 1s located immediately south or the right-of-way of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and is also located on ~e west side of Vine Avenue, directly across that street from the company's Operation Center! consisting of garage, service department, warehouse and other facilities. It wou d, the~efore, appear that in this area the request for rezoning would not be out of line, considering the use to which adjacent property is now being uti li zed. We are extremely desirous of augmenting our present space in order that we can properly store our line materials and allow for much needed additional parking area. We will be most appreciative of the City's cooperation in this matter and any effort they may lend to expedite favorable action to this request will be of considerable benefit to us.

(Second block from the City Hall) The windborne intermittent clouds or dust; (sand and cement) contaminate the air continuously for several blocks, except wben there 18 rain. This same aggregate covers East Avenue tram Court Street to Chestnut Street giving it the semblance ' of a country road. The nois8 of (combustion powered) high boom crane. and hammering on mixers trom 6:00 A. M. throughout the day is most annoying and disconcerting to residents and visitors alike, tor several blocks in tbis area. We don't believe a progressive group of city Commissioners would agree that. this is a suitable first view ot Clearwater, for visitors and prospective residents, alighting trom the Seaboard trains at the station directly across the street.
